I am aware that 32 bit operating systems cannot make full use of a 4GB installation, however is that extra .5 GB in any way useful when using 64 bit? Doesn't the double word length of memory pointers wipe out the difference? Would 6GB or 8GB be more prudent?

It doesn't matter, 64-bit just allows you to address more memory space. Your memory requirements should be more constrained on what you are planning to do with said system.
